Though I didn’t get to take a picture at the event itself, I learned and attained essential information that helped me understand Team Baruch and what it has to offer. My friends all decided to attend Team Baruch’s information session, while I wasn’t entirely sure whether I was interested or not, or even what Team Baruch had to offer in the first place. Letting my curiousity get the best of me, I arrived to the session ready for disappointment and regret. But evidently as the session continued, I became more and more enlightened. The students that coordinated the event gave an impression of confidence and maturity, unlike other meetings I’ve attended. They explained how generous Team Baruch has been to them and how gracious they were to be a part of it. The students also gave an impression that rather than working or doing a chore, they were making the most of their time by helping others. One mentor spoke about his time teaching a FRO class and the relationship he built with a former member of the military. He shared the troubles his pupil went through and all the efforts he made to help him through it. The mentor then concluded by talking about being in the his life past the time he spent in his FRO class and how proud he was of him when he found out the job opportunity the he recieved as a result of the mentors efforts of helping him. This reccollection was the determining factor that made me want to be in the Team Baruch atmosphere. Leaving that session I made a decision in trying to join this group and helping others just as much as the peer mentors do for us freshman everyday.
